What other features will work? The BatteryLevel() one? I think we need to
have a look at the rcx2 commands and see what's working for the Scout.


The SetSleepTime() and SleepNow() thing was just sloppiness on my part
when reorganizing the NQC API file.  Those opcodes are clearly
documented in the Scout SDK.  I don't think we have to hunt around for
undocumented features - just verify that anything in the Scout SDK docs
is actually supported in NQC.


Yes, I'll try to do that when I have some time...


Also, what does the Scout API include with the program? I know in the RCX
it
turns all motor ports forward and full power. If it's eating up much
valuable
space it might be better to not include anything for the scout?

#pragma noinit

will disable the init code (you'll save 6 bytes of code).


That's not too bad... heh heh. I'm just shocked at how little RAM there is for
programing...
Maybe the 'way' I program is memory intensive. I can see an art to programing
the scout evolving...

BTW, great job on NQC, the new 2.2r1 is GREAT. I really like the new support
and hope that you do take any comments about NQC as constructive ones.

(...) thanks. Comments are always welcome....that's not saying that I'll implement everything that anyone suggests, but I certainly appreciate the feedback. NQC wouldn't have gotten this far without the suggestions of the user community. Dave (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.scout)
